Pumpkin Power Casserole
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
it features nutrient-rich ingredients like Hokkaido pumpkin, which is packed with vitamins A and C, and potatoes, a great source of fiber and potassium. The red onion adds antioxidants, while garden cress provides a boost of vitamins and minerals. The small amount of Gorgonzola and honey adds flavor without overloading on unhealthy fats or sugars, making this dish a balanced and wholesome meal option.
To make this recipe even healthier, you could reduce the amount of Gorgonzola or substitute it with a lighter cheese like feta or ricotta for less fat. Swap honey with a natural sweetener like maple syrup or omit it entirely for a lower sugar option. Consider leaving the potato skins on for added fiber, and add extra veggies like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for more nutrients. Lastly, use olive oil instead of cheese for a plant-based healthy fat alternative.
